Fear of a Black Panther: Part One

“Fear of a Black Panther: Part One” is the excellent first part of an examination of Panther’s Rage: “a
classic 13 part super-hero story that predated the ‘adult’ stylings ofWatchmen & the Dark Knight Returns by over a decade. [It} was a dark, dense American super-hero comic that featured African
characters in every single one of its key roles, keeping with McGregor’s
plan that ‘all of the characters save one would be black.'”

Friend of the Gutter Evan Munday watches A Bucket of Blood (and more) as part of his effort to raise money for the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape. “So far, this horror marathon has brought us to medieval Japan, to grimy 1970s New York, and to the contemporary British countryside – but it hasn’t yet brought us to the beatnik-filled bohemian cafés of late-1950s America. Roger Corman, the brain such B-Movies as The Little Shop of Horrors and dozens more, is here to the rescue with A Bucket of Blood, a far-out morality tale of art and murder – one, perhaps, more relevant than ever.” Make sure to check out the rest of his thoughtful and funny write-ups here.
